Is anyone familiar with a book with a collection of quilt blocks with Farmer's Wife or Farm Wife in the title? Thanks, G

I'll wait and get the CD. Do you know when it is coming out?

BTW I like the saying you have as your signature. :-D

You said the magic words "Connecting Threads". I found the book and it looks cool and is on sale too.

Donna, I've heard a lot about the patterns being inaccurate...have you found that to be true?

If you join the book of the month club online, you can get it for 12.95, free shipping...

I have the book and it came with the cd. I haven't done any blocks yet. I read about the templates/foundations not being accurate, but when I printed out a few test pages their were perfect. Wondering if perhaps the inaccuracies came from not changing 'Scaling' to "None" when printing.

Can't wait to make this one as well as both Civil War Diary and Civil War Love Letters. :)
